Extracellular Vesicles From Fungal Infection in Humans: A Key Player in Immunological Responses [PDF]

J Extracell Biol
ABSTRACT Fungal infections cause approximately 1.6 million deaths annually. Diagnosing and treating fungal infections is difficult due to limited access to diagnostic tests and rising antifungal resistance. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate interactions between fungal cells and hosts, significantly influencing the pathogen‐host relationship ...

Paracoccidioidomycosis with sarcoid-like cutaneous lesion: A clinicopathological challenge

IDCases, 2022
We describe a case of sarcoid-like cutaneous paracoccidioidomycosis in a 26-year-old male, with a 10-year evolution, wrongly diagnosed as granulomatous rosacea. The correct diagnosis was only possible after the appearance of a new skin lesion with a more

Paracoccidioidomycosis: an update [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1993
This review summarizes knowledge on various aspects of paracoccidioidomycosis. Mycelial propagules, chlamydospores, and arthroconidia exhibit thermal dimorphism; arthroconidia are infectious in animals and, by electron microscopy, appear well provided for survival. The mycelial-to-yeast-phase transformation requires a strict control of glucan synthesis
